AI Summary:
The fire broke out during a concert by the hip-hop duo DNK. At least 59 people were killed and 155 were injured in the fire. Burials were held in several cities and towns, but the main funeral was in Kocani. The fire and emerging stories of the harrowing scenes at the Pulse nightclub have triggered an outpouring of grief and protests, led mostly by young people. Before the funerals, the country’s spiritual leader, Orthodox Archbishop Stefan, called for national unity in prayer for the victims. Separate funeral services took place in the capital, Skopje, and five other towns – several neighbouring Kocani – where many businesses closed as sign of respect. The ministry released the names of the 59 victims. They included 41 who were in their 20s or younger and three 17-year-olds.
